This release is a couple of minor bug fixes plus a complete rewrite of the Computer Players. We have released this a little earlier than we planned due to the release of Royal Troon which requires an update to the game so that the Pot Bunkers will work. We will continue to work on the Computer Players.
Computer AI Players
The computer players have been significantly advanced but they still have a few issues we are working on.
We have added an Accuracy Setting for computer players. This setting determines how good they are at hitting the snap. Set it to 10 and computer players will almost always hit the fairway even at Tour Pro. Set it to 1 and they will miss a bunch of fairways at Am and Above.
The driving and long iron and short iron Skills determine how much of the snap error is taken on each shot
The Short Game and putting Skills define how many times the game will attempt to find the best shot honing in on it.
You can change the skill of the computer player general difficulty so snap misses are proportional to that skill level.
These settings and the overall general difficulty level of the player will allow you to create and fine tune the experience.
We feel this is a major improvement to the computer players. However I am sure as they get a good deal of use people will uncover situations where they make odd decisions. There are an infinite number of potential positions the computer golfer can get into including bad aim points on certain courses.
Please report any strange decision making you get.
